Some days go like this
Unbeknown to me, the kitten escapes her confines (the office) and scurries into the living room. The dog, barking and growling runs after her. I have to follow him, to make sure he doesn’t hurt her and/or mark something. Now the kitten is inaccessible in some tiny crevice.
The dog and I return to the other room to get some peace. A few minutes later, there’s a loud crash. I’d like to ignore it, but that’s not responsible, right? So, I discover she’s knocked a potted plant onto the floor. There’s dirt everywhere. The dog is barking and trying to catch the kitten again.
I’m attempting to clean up the spilled soil and keep the dog quiet. The kitten jumps onto the couch to seek solace with Angela, our crotchety old cat. Now there’s a cat fight and the dog is nowhere to be found.
Oh! There he is behind the easy chair. What’s that? He marked the chair! In two seconds of mayhem. Thanks Rhys.
So now I grab the dog, leash him up, attach the leash to my belt loop and spray down his pee with some vinegar. Still there are two growling cats. Still the dog is trying to chase the kitten, pulling hard trying to get away from me.
Finally I get the soil back into the pot and the dog and I are quietly sitting in the office again. The kitten is still loose and maybe Angela has disemboweled her. I don’t know.
